Description of the invention (/) [Application fields in the industry] (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) The present invention relates to GPS receivers, and in particular, to selectively remove The GPS signal transmitted by a satellite makes the GPS receiving device with improved measurement accuracy. [Advanced technology] A navigation system that is a mobile object such as a vehicle or a ship. It is a device that receives the radio waves output by artificial satellites and measures the position of a mobile object based on the GPS (Global Positioning System) signals it contains. It is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-1 3 2 4 3 8 4. The GPS receiver, which uses GPS to determine the position, receives GPS signals from more than 3 artificial satellites, and uses the detour signals of each satellite to calculate distance data and altitude data to detect the position of the moving body. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the GP S antenna is a square with a length and width of 20 to 60 mm, or a disc shape with a diameter of 20 to 60 mm. It is commonly known as a patch antenna. Antenna. Since such a planar antenna has a large number of antenna elements integrated, the directivity requirement in the vertical direction is extremely high. In addition, it is constituted by diversity to obtain a good reception state. Furthermore, using the GPS navigation system, it is well known that when radio waves transmitted from low-elevation satellites close to the horizon are strongly affected by multipath or ionospheric delay, the accuracy is reduced. In contrast, the above-mentioned planar antenna has high directivity in the vertical direction and low sensitivity in the horizontal direction, so it is not susceptible to multipath or ionosphere. This paper applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 × 297). (Mm) — 4 565703 Printed by A7 _ B7 of the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. 5. The effect of the delay in the invention description (f). [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, for a locomotive or a sand car, etc., on a moving body that has a large change in posture during travel, if the GP S uses a planar antenna, the plane is flat when the posture of the moving body is inclined. The high directivity of the antenna is inferior to the radio waves transmitted by satellites at low elevation angles, resulting in a decrease in accuracy. On the other hand, if a non-directional antenna that can detect vertical radio waves when the posture is tilted is used, it will not only keep receiving the radio waves from the vertical direction, but also the radio waves from the horizontal direction. It is impossible to avoid any technical problem that the accuracy is reduced. An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and to provide a GPS receiving device for selectively receiving only a GPS signal transmitted by a satellite having a high elevation angle. [Means to solve the problem] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is directed to a GPS receiving device that receives GPS signals transmitted by a plurality of satellites, and includes: an antenna for receiving radio waves including GPS signals; The received GPS signals are used to calculate the elevation angle calculation method of each satellite's elevation angle, and a comparison method to compare the elevation angle of each satellite with a specific reference elevation angle; and selectively only take out satellites whose elevation angle is larger than the reference elevation angle. The transmitted GPS signal is used as a feature. According to the above characteristics, because it can selectively use only a large elevation angle (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 565703 A7 B7 V. Description of the Invention The GP s signal transmitted by the satellite of (s) can not be easily affected by multipath or ionospheric delay, and can make high-precision measurements. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) [Invention Modes] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a perspective view of a saddle-sand sand beach vehicle that can greatly improve positioning accuracy by being equipped with the GP S receiving device of the present invention; with large-diameter wheels 101, lower bezel 102, and four-wheel drive The mechanism can play high climbing and off-road performance. In this embodiment, the receiving antenna 1 of the GPS receiver is set up from the uppermost part of the front of the vehicle so as to face the sky. In such a mobile body, the posture of the receiving antenna changes greatly when traveling, and the direction of the receiving antenna changes greatly in response to the change in posture. In a state where the vehicle body is tilted relatively, it must be compared with the satellite receiving antenna 1 at a low elevation angle. Be directional. Fig. 2 is a block diagram of a main part of a GPS receiver in an embodiment of the present invention. The receiving antenna 1 is, for example, a helical antenna with a lower directivity than a patch antenna printed on a plane printed by a consumer cooperative in the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, which is used on a mobile object in the past. GPS signal transmitted by a GPS satellite. The high-frequency processing unit 2 reduces the high-frequency signal included in the radio wave received by the receiving antenna 1 to a desired frequency band. The A / D conversion section 3 A / D converts the analog signal that has been down-converted. The signal processing unit 4 is to extract satellites from the digital signals output by the A / D conversion unit 3 above. The paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21〇 > < 297 mm). 565703 A7 Wisdom of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Property Bureau V. Invention Description (4) Detour signal. The satellite selection unit 5 first extracts all satellite position information from the satellite detour signals. The position calculation unit 6 calculates its own temporary present position by using the extracted satellite positions, and then uses the position information of each satellite and its temporary present position to obtain all satellite elevation angles. The satellite selection unit 5 selects satellites whose elevation angle is greater than a certain reference elevation angle 0 ref among all the satellites extracted by the satellite detour signal. Finally, using the position information of the selected satellites, the position calculation unit 6 obtains its true current position. The position calculation unit 6 obtains the position information and time information of each satellite from the satellite detour signal of the selected satellite, and calculates the difference between the time when the satellite transmits the radio wave and the time when the radio wave is received by itself, and From the detected Doppler frequency, calculate the approximate distance between each satellite and the GPS receiver, and further include the error of its own internal clock, and calculate the 3 as an unknown moving body by calculation. Dimensional position or 2D position. FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram of the satellite selection unit 5 described above, including: extracting the position information of each satellite S T η from the satellite detour signal, and calculating the elevation angle calculation unit θ η of the satellite S T η 5 0 1 And a reference elevation angle generating unit 5 0 which generates a reference elevation angle 0 ref 2 and a comparison unit 5 0 which compares the calculated elevation angles of each satellite S T η with the reference elevation angle 0 ref 3 and a satellite detour signal based on the above The approximate distance calculating unit 504 that calculates the approximate distance L η of the satellite S τ η that exceeds the reference elevation angle 0 ref of the reference elevation angle η. The above position calculation section 6 is to selectively take only the elevation angle 0 η beyond the reference elevation angle (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 ×: 297 mm) 7 565703 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. 5. Description of the invention u) 0 ref of the satellite S T η information. Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 4 and the block diagram in FIG. 3. In the form of this treasure, as shown in Fig. 5, a description will be given of a person capable of receiving radio waves of 7 satellites ST1 to ST7. In step S1, the satellite orbiting signal transmitted from the first satellite ST1 is read into the elevation calculation unit 501 of the satellite selection unit 5 by the signal processing unit 4 described above. In step S2, a variable N (N = 1 to 7 in this embodiment) for identifying all satellites is set to "1". Furthermore, the variable M for identifying the selected satellite is set to "0". In step S3, the above-mentioned elevation calculation unit 501 calculates the elevation angle 0 1 of the Nth (first, first) satellite S T 1. In step S4, the calculated elevation angle 0 1 and the reference elevation angle 0 ref are compared in a comparison unit 503. As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, since the elevation angle 0 1 of the satellite ST 1 is smaller than the reference elevation angle 0 ref, the process proceeds to step S 8. In step S8, it is determined whether the current satellite ST1 is the last satellite ST7. Here, since it is determined that there are no other satellites, the variable N is added in step S9, and the process returns to step S3. In the next step S3, the elevation angle calculation unit 501 calculates the elevation angle 02 of the second satellite ST2. In step S4, the calculated elevation angle 0 2 and the reference elevation angle 0 ref are compared in the comparison unit 503. As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, since the elevation angle Θ 2 of the satellite ST 2 is larger than the reference elevation angle 0 ref, the above paper size is adapted to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297) at step S 5. Millimeter (please read the notes on the back before filling this page) 565703 Α7 Β7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs V. Invention Description (4) The variable M is incremented. In step S 6 Is the approximate distance L η of the second satellite (the approximate distance L 2 of the satellite S T 2) is calculated in the approximate distance calculation unit 504. In step S7, the approximate distance of the calculation result is made. L 2 notifies the position calculation unit 6 and stores it in the memory area A (M). That is, the approximate distance L 2 is memorized in the memory area A (1). In step S8, it is determined whether the satellite this time is The last satellite. If it is another satellite, the variable N is incremented in step S 9 and then returns to step S 3. For other satellites, the above-mentioned processes are repeated. As in the above procedure, when all satellites S T 1 to ST 7 perform the processes described above As shown in FIG. 5, the approximate distances L 2, L 3, L 4, and L 5 of all satellites S T 2 to S T 5 whose elevation angle 0 η exceeds the reference elevation angle 0 ref are placed in the position calculation unit 6, respectively. And memorize it in the memory areas A (1), A (2), A (3), A (4). In step S10, in the position calculation unit 6, according to the memory areas A (1) , A (2), A (3), A (4) and the approximate distance of each satellite and the position coordinates of each satellite to calculate the position of the moving body. In this embodiment, in order to modify the time of each satellite and the time of the moving body The error caused by the deviation is calculated by taking the time deviation as the unknown. Since the number of unknowns is the total of the 3D coordinate of the moving body and the time deviation, the position coordinates of each satellite S τ η are (X η , Υ η, Z η); the position of the moving body is (X ρ, Υ ρ, ζ ρ); the speed of light is C; the time deviation of the receiver is 5 t; and the approximate distance from each satellite ST η is L η (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) The paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS ) Α4 specification (210X297 mm) 565703 A7 _________ B7 V.

The position of the moving body of unknown quantity is centered on each satellite, and Obtained from the intersection of 4 spheres with the distance from the satellite as the radius. According to this embodiment, since the position of a moving body is measured only by selectively taking out signals transmitted from satellites with large elevation angles, it is not easily affected by multipath or ionospheric delay, and can make highly accurate measurements. In the above embodiment, although the elevation angle of 4 satellites exceeds the reference elevation angle of 0 ref, if the elevation angle of 5 or more satellites exceeds the reference elevation angle of 0 ref, if it is based on the first 4 satellites with a larger elevation angle If the satellite orbits the signal to obtain the position, it can make more accurate measurement. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of Intellectual Property Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs [Effects of Invention] According to the present invention, the following effects are achieved. (1) Since only the signals transmitted by satellites with large elevation angles are selectively taken out, it is not easy to be affected by multipath or ionospheric delay, and can make high-precision measurements. (2) When there are many satellites with large elevation angles, the front multiple satellite signals with larger elevation angles can be used, so this paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297) (Mm) 10 565703 A7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, B7 V. Description of Invention (ί) It can measure with higher precision. (3) By reducing the directivity of the antenna, no matter how the posture of the moving body changes, it is possible to selectively use only signals transmitted from satellites with large elevation angles.
